discharged it in the direction OF the young women
Miss PeltZ jumped up from the table Immediately

almost frantic with fear, and alarmed the house.

shotgun. lie walked up 10 Charles Presley and
without a word emptied the contents OF his gun

lowed him, asked him why he killed his brother
and Jones drew a long knife and almost cut the
questioner In two killing him at a blow. Jones
then quietly reloaded his gun, walked 10 the Old

HOW LEADING CITIZEN OF BELLAIRE, OHIO, VICTIM
zEp MERCANTILE FIRMS

Joseph Dobler, a weil-known and hitherto repu-
table citizen, was arrested In Bellaire Ohio yes
terday, on the charge OF victimizng a number OF
leading mercantile and manufacturing firms out
Of from $4,000 to $4,000. The heaviest loser is
the Pittsburg coffee house OF Arbuckle & CO., who
claim to have been hit by Dobler for s. 600 to
$4,000. Dobler's method OF operation was TO
keep himself posted on slow paying customers OF
wholesale and tobbing firms, and after making out
list OF ten or twenty such, he would lay out
route and pass through the towns wherein the
debtors dwell, at each place mailing letter TO the
firm to whom the money was due under fictitious
name, claiming to be an attorney, and Offering TO
collect the debt on commission. In each case he
would instruct the postmaster to forward replies
to Bellaire. Obtaining authority to make cOllec-
tons, he would squeeze the debtor and put the
money in his pocket AS he had operated under
an alias, changed in each case he could not be
traced. Finding they were being Systematically
sw1ndled, Arbuckle & Co. put detective on the
case, and the result was DObers arrest. large
amount OF mail matter showing his operations
was found In his house Dobler few years ago,
was poor, and had no visible means OF support,
but recently he erected the finest house in Bell
a1re, and told his friends that he had received
